Directions:

* If you aren’t using premade cards, go ahead and make those first.
* Using your scissors – first trim down your scrap pieces to give the look of a stacked cake. This is done by cutting rectangles out of the scraps and then trimming each one down a bit, as the cake gets taller. Keep in mind, the smallest top piece should be WHITE for the unicorn head.
* Out the remaining cardstock, cut out ears and an unicorn horn. Punch out a few paper flowers as well.
* Now grab your adhesive and apply it on the back of each scrap piece. Place them on the card in their correct formation.
* Next up – the unicorn embellishments. Add the triangle horn, the flower “hair” and of course, draw on some eyelashes with the Sharpie markers.
* Add other embellishments you see fit.
* If desired – add a stamped “birthday” sentiment somewhere on the card.
* Repeat process for each card.
